Company History:

Originally founded as Rideout Electric Limited in 1949 by Roland H. Rideout, the company specialized in marine electrical work such as motors, generators, switchgear and related equipment.

The Skil brand was the first power tool line distributed by Rideout Tool & Machine in the 1960s represented by Canadian Hockey greats Henri Richard and David Keon. Pictured here is Roland Rideout with Henri Richard and Roland’s wife Lillian at the grand opening of our now Kenmount Road location taken in 1972.

Throughout the 60's and 70's the company changed its focus to the supply of industrial tools and machinery as well as a broad range of other MRO products. Today Rideout Tool & Machine is considered one of the major industrial equipment suppliers in Atlantic Canada, still owned and operated by the Rideout family.
